• Why should we publish regionally?

In science we should have common language.Bad motivation: not all people speak English.This is true in Poland in education, medicine, humanities, marketing, art.

To reach these communities we have to use local language.Ex: book on psychometrics & machine learning, some articles for neuromarketing, neuroesthetics.

To reach undergraduates, in many countries using textbooks that are frequently written in local languages.Ex: two books on information sciences, a new field in Poland

• Why should we publish regionally?

To create a community in a new branch of science local publications may be needed.

Ex. Polish Cognitive Science Society, a new field, to build this community we started the Cognitive Science and Media in Education journal in Polish.

Allows people in education to learn more about CS and its applications, including older teachers who do not speak English.

Next generation should not have this problem. Smaller countries in EU teach in English more than we do.

AdvantagesAdvantagesAdvantagesAdvantages

• Unique advantages?

I have mixed feelings here ...

Good to have common language,good to have your own language.

Proverb: How many languages you know, that many times you are a human being.

Bad trying to have more than one common language ... this will lead to a greater division of the world.
